LONDON -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:

1. Maye energy: When first-year Patriots coach Jerod Mayo was describing what it was like being around rookie quarterback Drake Maye in the aftermath of his first career NFL start last week, he made a connection to Rob Gronkowski.

Mayo was referring to Maye's upbeat attitude and mentality, which he also saw from Gronkowski in 2010 when the future Hall of Fame tight end joined the Patriots as a 21-year-old from the University of Arizona.
